  • Modulating interfacial wettability of a noncovalent nanoscopic ligand film
    Patent number: 10889669
    Abstract: This invention generally relates to a method for modulating interfacial wettability of a noncovalent nanoscopic monolayer or thin film. Particularly, this invention relates to a method for modulating interfacial wettability of a two-dimensional (2D) material using a molecular layer prepared from a polymerizable amphiphilic monomer having a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail, wherein enhanced or decreased wettability of said 2D material is achieved by proper allocating the position of polymerizable group relative to the hydrophilic head and the hydrophobic tail.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2021
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Shelley A. Claridge, Jae Jin Bang, Shane Richard Russell, Terry Angelo Villarreal
